Ministry for Business and Made in Italy

Since the Italian unification in 1861, policies related to productive activities were made by the Ministry for Agriculture, Industry and Trade, which was eliminated by the Depretis II Cabinet in 1877{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:regio.decreto:1877-12-26;4220!vig=|title=REGIO DECRETO 26 dicembre 1877, n. 4220|date=26 December 1877|website=Normattiva|language=it}} and restored by Cairoli I Cabinet in 1878.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:legge:1878-06-30;4449!vig=|title=LEGGE 30 giugno 1878, n. 4449|date=30 June 1878|website=Normattiva|language=it}} In 1916, with the Boselli Cabinet, competences on labour and social security were added while the one on agriculture was removed: the dicastery became then the Ministry for Industry, Trade and Labour.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:regio.decreto:1916-06-22;755!vig=|title=REGIO DECRETO 22 giugno 1916, n. 755|date=22 June 1916|website=Normattiva|language=it}} In 1920, the Nitti II Cabinet established the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, maintaining the Ministry of Industry and Trade.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:regio.decreto.legge:1920-06-03;700!vig=|title=REGIO DECRETO-LEGGE 3 giugno 1920, n. 700|date=3 June 1920|website=Normattiva|language=it}}

Several transformations occurred during the Mussolini Cabinet: the Ministry of National Economy was established in 1923 with the merger of the Ministries of Labour and Social Security, of Industry and Trade and of Agriculture,{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:regio.decreto:1923-04-27;915!vig=|title=REGIO DECRETO 27 aprile 1923, n. 915|date=27 April 1923|website=Normattiva|language=it}} but it was later abolished in 1929 and its competences on agriculture were given to the reconstituted Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and those related to industry, trade and labour were transferred to the existing Ministry of Corporations.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:regio.decreto:1929-09-27;1663!vig=|title=REGIO DECRETO 27 settembre 1929, n. 1663|date=27 September 1929|website=Normattiva|language=it}} With the fall of Fascism, the Badoglio I Cabinet abolished the last one and recreated the Ministry for Industry, Trade and Labour.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:regio.decreto:1943-08-09;718!vig=|title=REGIO DECRETO 9 agosto 1943, n. 718|date=9 August 1943|website=Normattiva|language=it}}

During the second post-war period, the Parri Cabinet subdivided again in 1945 the competences between the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security,{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo.luogotenenziale:1945-06-21;377!vig=|title=DECRETO LEGISLATIVO LUOGOTENENZIALE 21 giugno 1945, n. 377|date=21 June 1945|website=Normattiva|language=it}} while the De Gasperi II Cabinet spun off also the Ministry of Foreign Trade in 1946. In 1966, with Moro III Cabinet, the competence on handicrafts was added and the Dicastery was renamed in Ministry of Industry, Trade and Handicraft.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:legge:1966-09-26;792|title=LEGGE 26 settembre 1966, n. 792|date=26 September 1966|website=Normattiva|language=it}}

In order to reduce the number of Ministries, the Bassanini reforms issued between 1997{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:legge:1997-03-15;59!vig=|title=LEGGE 15 marzo 1997, n. 59|date=15 March 1997|website=Normattiva|language=it}} and 1999 and further implementing decrees determined the creation of the Ministry of Productive Activities,{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:1999-07-30;300|title=DECRETO LEGISLATIVO 30 luglio 1999, n. 300|date=30 July 1999|website=Normattiva|language=it|quote=CAPO VI (Artt. 27-32)}} after the merging between the Ministries of Industry, of Foreign Trade and Communications. However, the last one was maintained autonomous by the Berlusconi II Cabinet in 2001.

In 2001, with the Prodi II Cabinet, the Department for Development and Economic Cohesion was incorporated into the Ministry of Treasury, Budget and Economic Planning{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.del.presidente.della.repubblica:2001-03-22;147|title=DECRETO DEL PRESIDENTE DELLA REPUBBLICA 22 marzo 2001, n. 147|date=22 March 2001|website=Normattiva|language=it|quote=Art. 3}} (renamed later as Ministry of Economy and Finance) and the new Ministry of International Trade was established in 2006, along with the Ministry of Economic Development.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.legge:2006-05-18;181!vig=|title=DECRETO-LEGGE 18 maggio 2006, n. 181|date=18 May 2006|website=Normattiva|language=it|quote=Art. 1}}

Only in 2008 the Bassanini reform was re-established and the MiSE included the functions of the Ministries of Communication and International Trade, which ceased to exists with the Berlusconi IV Cabinet.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.del.presidente.della.repubblica:2008-11-28;197|title=DECRETO DEL PRESIDENTE DELLA REPUBBLICA 28 novembre 2008, n. 197|date=28 November 2008|website=Normattiva|language=it}} The last modification occurred in 2013 with the spun off of the Department for Development and Economic Cohesion and the creation of the new Agency for Territorial Cohesion under MiSE.{{Cite web|url=https://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.legge:2013-08-31;101!vig=|title=DECRETO-LEGGE 31 agosto 2013, n. 101|date=31 August 2013|website=Normattiva|language=it|quote=Art. 10}}
